Scheduling these special selections simplify the operation of the bell system. Some are also available as a pull-down selection while [[Scheduler_weekly_MS|editing schedules]] and [[Settings_MS2201#Edit_Remote_Buttons|programming functions]] using the Management Suite scheduler. | |||
== Scheduled macros == | |||
When programming macro codes in the weekly schedule, do not precede them with any other specific selection or pause. Multiple macros may be scheduled at the same time, including function macros containing pauses. | |||
== Pauses and delays == | |||
Sometimes you will not want the bells to ring exactly on the quarter hour. To delay ringing until later in the quarter, insert a pause in the program ahead of the ringing. Older manuals instruct you to press the cursor-up button to access pauses. This is no longer recommended, you should use the following numeric codes instead. | |||
=== Timed selection pause === | |||
Users of newer systems should use the following timed silent selections for pauses: | |||
0071 - One Minute | |||
0072 - Two Minutes | |||
0073 - Three Minutes | |||
0074 - Four Minutes | |||
0075 - Five Minutes | |||
0076 - Six Minutes | |||
0077 - Seven Minutes | |||
0078 - Eight Minutes | |||
0079 - Nine Minutes | |||
0080 - Ten Minutes | |||
Silent selections may be combined for longer pauses. Silent selections can be used in Function programs (remote buttons or macros). | |||

These codes only apply to music-capable bell systems.

In the schedulers, you can continue to enter more musical selections as you did above. When programming a music function button, you can also indicate how many selections to play (up to 199). You can also enter the following timed music blocks in the schedule (these codes must be the ''last'' selection for the quarter hour). | In the schedulers, you can continue to enter more musical selections as you did above.

You can [[Edit remote button setup menu|customize]] up to eight programmable functions. These are immediately accessible from the front panel when the carillon is in standby mode (not playing and the current time is displayed) by pressing button 1 through 8. You can also program the function in a schedule by entering codes '''7901''' - '''7908'''. | You can [[Edit remote button setup menu|customize]] up to eight programmable functions.

Only use these 7900 codes in a schedule. One function cannot activate another. | |||
=== Pause in a function === | |||
The pause/delay functions Pau_ do not work within the programmable functions. Supported systems will have blank timed selections that can be used instead. Selections '''0071''' through '''0080''' will provide silent delays from one to ten minutes. | |||

The optional Premium Management Suite scheduler application can store up to ten schedules in the carillon’s FLASH memory. Then you can use the annual or one-time event scheduling features of the Suite to let the system know when to make each schedule active. You may also ‘play’ the macros manually in the Play Selections mode to activate a schedule at any time. The macro functions used to activate the schedules are '''7930''' through '''7939''' (for schedules 0 through 9). Schedules are made active by copying the schedule data from FLASH memory to editable RAM. Changes made to the active weekly schedule will be overwritten and lost when another schedule is activated by these codes. | The optional Premium Management Suite scheduler application can store up to ten schedules in the carillon’s FLASH memory.

Inside/Outside speaker switching can be accomplished on the schedule to override the settings made in the Setup-Seasonal Options screen. The following macros switch the speakers to play inside, outside or both for manual or automatic operation: | This feature only applies to carillon systems with amplifiers and speakers.

Here is a video that shows how to set up a function for a counted tolling bell, then schedule it to ring at a time appointed to commemorate a memorial event. After the memorial, the event can be removed from the weekly schedule. On our current systems with Premium Management software, the event can also be scheduled on an [[Scheduler_special_Events_MS|annual or one time]] basis. | Here is a video that shows how to set up a function for a counted tolling bell, then schedule it to ring at a time appointed to commemorate a memorial event.
